The SOILS association is a facilitator for the teaching, training and sharing of skills and resources related to sustainable and environment-friendly practices. SOILS is dedicated to applying Permaculture ethics and principles in design systems that work with nature - not against it - to provide food, energy and shelter in both rural and urban communities. We communicate the Permaculture (permanen
t culture/agriculture) approach by integrating the different life-supporting layers of "soils": landscapes, people, plants and animals. The SOILS permaculture demonstration site in the village of Saidoun in the caza of Jezzine (South Lebanon) puts natural growing and sustainable development strategies into action. We also conduct presentations and workshops with our partners in Beirut and different areas. We aim to cultivate a national network of growers, builders, makers and artists in Lebanon that care about nature-friendly and responsible practices, in view of collaborating with similar associations in the region and beyond.
